I got a Sunflowerlunchbox and a Poppy pencil case to hold my watercolor blob book and markers so that I could organize & bring my book, markers, pencils and watercolor set with me easily and with inspiration built right in!

...and last but not least for the friends that I just did not know what to get, I got them all gift certificates so they could pick out whatever they wanted!

These are extra cool gifts because they can be sent by email even on Christmas Day and get there on time!

Did you go shopping on Black Friday or were you afraid of being trampled like I was?

We did all of our shopping with local artists and online this year so even if we could not make all our gifts, we supported other artists and gave handmade gifts made from the heart at the same time. :)

Today is Wonderful Wednesday here as Archie and I just got a package from our friend Lynne in the UK!She found this fabulous little doll pattern on etsy and we did a doll exchange across the miles to each other!It was so FUN because both of our packages arrived at the same time which is really hard to do! :)Customs on either side of the borders can hold the packages for varying times each time we mail something so it was a neat bonus for both of us to giggle about!

This is the one I made for Lynne :)

...and this is the one she made for me!

I just adore her!

She is just beaming with LOVE!

Thank you Lynne!

Are you making your gifts this year?

Please leave me a note and let me know what you are making, cooking or planning!

About Me

I am often inspired to make lots of different art that is not for sale on my website, www.pugnotes.com. I make it because I feel a spark of inspiration that brings me joy from the concept to completion of my project. I would love to share that spark.
This is my blog.
Enjoy!
